Description

I hate to ask you to do this, but I guess it's why they pay you the big bucks. Can you deliver that dead orc's field journal to whoever is in charge up at their camp? Based on the writing in the book, they should be located at the top of the island, up the incline past the Kaja'mite cavern to the southeast. Good luck, {name}. I always liked you.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Orcs Can Write?The Lost Isles · Level 1-20

    Looking through the dead orc's belongings, you find a field journal. Though it is heavily water damaged, the writing is still legible, if barely. Flipping through the pages, an interesting story unfolds. Good thing you decided to study Orcish.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Vicious ValeThe Lost Isles · Level 1-20

    Our hunter, Kilag Gorefang, and a few scouts, traveled into the vale down the path to the west. They're ...searching for... 'precious cargo'... that we were guarding when the filthy Alliance sunk our ship. The way is blocked by deadly plants and they have not been able to break through.

The storyline at a glance

The Lost Isles has 72 steps, from Don't Go Into the Light! to Message for Saurfang.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): The Lost Isles (71), Orgrimmar (1).
